In 1992, outweighed by 60 pounds, a 135 pound Blade Braxton (from WrestleCrap Radio) lost a six-round decision to a 195 pound Bonecrusher Thomas in a FYBA (Front-Yard Boxing Association) classic. Ten years later, after a decade of shit talking, and with both fighters weighing in evenly at 230 pounds, they would leave the front yard and enter the boxing ring for the long-awaited rematch, with the coveted FYBA Heavyweight title on the line. The following video shows clips of Blade avenging his defeat with a 2nd round TKO of Thomas.
The beginning of this clip also shows a brief clip of Blade fighting against Vince Vyagra in a vintage 1992 FYBA match, taking place right in Blade's front yard!!!

Blade,
It wasn't exactly Tyson getting KO'd by Buster Douglas in Tokyo, but good nonetheless.
By the way, how can it be the Front Yard Boxing Association if you guys are fighting in what appears to be a warehouse?
